What is e-me?

The e-me Digital Educational Platform for pupils and teachers, implements a safe integrated digital environment for learning, collaboration, communication and networking of all members of the school community.

e-me was created in order to become:

the personal working environment for every pupil and teacher

a safe place for collaboration, communication, sharing of files and utilization of digital content

a space for the social networking of pupils and teachers

a framework for the integration and operation of external apps

a space where the work of pupils, teachers and schools can be made public and showcased

Demo e-me is the demo edition of e-me Digital Educational Platform. Demo e-me provides accounts with demo content which allows you to explore the environment and the functionality of e-me. Choose one of the available demo users and browse through the Profile, Contacts, Hives and the rest functions of e-me. If you wish to become a member of e-me, you can use your Greek School Network (GSN) account to connect to the official edition of e-me. If you are not a GSN member you can create your own account at "e-me for all".

e-me editions

The main, official edition of e-me Digital Educational Platform, which is directed to all students and teachers and - compared to the other editions - has the most recent and complete functionality of e-me.ONLY users with a Greek School Network (GSN) account can access the official edition of e-me, assuring this way that all the users are certified. In the official edition of e-me we also provide user support as well as other services that have been referred previously. By using the official edition of e-me you find yourself in a safe environment where you can cooperate with other certified users from the educational community.

"e-me for all" is directed to everyone who wishes to use the e-me Digital Educational Platform but doesn't have or wants to use a Greek School Network (GSN) account.It is free and open to everyone: students, teachers, researchers, educators, public and private sector personnel, and others. Access to the platform is given through user registration. "e-me for all" has the same functionality as the official e-me, but it doesn't provide the same level of security as its users are not certified. Moreover, it doesn't provide equivalent services and user support, like the ones offered by the official edition of e-me.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Official e-me & "e-me for all"

1. What's the difference between οfficial e-me & "e-me for all"?

Both e-me editions provide the user with the same affordances. Their only difference is on the users who access each e-me environment. Official e-me lays emphasis on its safe environment, where only certified users of the Greek School Network (GSN) can have access. "e-me for all" lays emphasis on its 'openess' and thus gives access via simple registration to any user, who may or may not belong to an educational community.

2. I have an account in "e-me for all" and I just got my account in Greek School Network (GSN). What happens with my previous activity in "e-me for all"?

Your previous activity in "e-me for all" cannot be transferred in official e-me, as there is no connection between your two accounts in the two different editions of e-me. So, you will have to create again any contacts, Hives etc.

Access & Account creation

3. Who can have access to e-me?

e-me addresses all students and all teachers (permanent, adjunct teachers on temporary contracts) of Primary and Secondary Education.

For accessing official e-me the user needs an account in the Greek School Network (GSN). For accessing "e-me for all" any user, even outside the educational community, can register.

4. How can I get an e-me account?

You can directly connect to e-me by using your personal account in the Greek School Network (GSN).

You don't need to ask for any other account or request for your e-me account to be activated. Concerning "e-me for all" you just need to register to get an account.

5. I am a student but I don't have an account in the Greek School Network (GSN). How can I get an account?

6. How can I start with e-me? Is there any manual about using e-me?

7. Who should I ask if I need any help while using e-me?

Hives

9. What is a Hive and what is it for?

A Hive is the main co-working environment of students and teachers. A Hive has members, a main channel of communication among its members ("Wall"), a working space, shared files, apps and a leader (creator/ administrator).

A Hive is created/ addresses a "team" who cooperate around a certain topic. Such "teams" could be:

- A class (e.g. B2 class)

- A class for a specific course (e.g. B2 Physics class)

- A club of particular interest (e.g. Photography club)

- A group of students of the same or different classes who cooperate on a project

- A group of students on a neighbourhood who cooperate on a local activity (e.g. Recycling in the neighbourhood)

- An entire school grade (e.g. Third grade of Middle School consisting of many classes)

- A cooperative project between two schools

10. I am a student. Can I create a Hive and invite my classmates to become members?

Yes, students can create Hives and become leaders of the Hive. For your classmates to become members of the Hive, they will have to accept your invitation.

11. I am a student. Can I invite my friends from another school to become members of the Hive I created?

Yes, you can as long as they have an account in e-me. Additionally, you need to know their usernames in e-me to invite them.

12. I am a teacher and I want to create a Hive for a class I teach. Are there any ready - made student lists so as to send a massive invitation for them to join the Hive?

No. This service is not available for now.

However, you can adjust your own, already used member lists (e.g. students of a class) to send to all students invitations in the Hives you create.

For example, once you craete a Hive for a class, you need to send an invitation to every student separately so that they participate in the Hive. In every other Hive you create, you can insert the list of members from the previous or another Hive, adjust your member list the way you want by adding or deleting members and then send invitations to all members of your new list.

Storage of Personal Files

13. Is there a storage space in e-me for storing my personal files?

14. How much personal storage space do teachers and students have available?

Each of the teachers and students can use an up to 500MB storage space. This storage capacity includes the Hive files created by each member of the e-me.

- Members who already participate in other Hives, where you are also the leader. To do so, you need to select "Hives' Members" so that you can see the list of Hives, for which you are the leader. By selecting one of the Hives you will see a list with the Hive's members who you can invite.

4. Is there a way for the Hive, I will create, not to appear in the search engine results?

Yes there is a way as long as you choose to create a privateHive.
